Fold until you get a better read. This is KK, AA or AK at best.

Re: 25NL- Preflop with QQ
 

with only $9.80 left, the implied odds do not justify to even try to see the flop...

I disagree with folding. Your 3-bet puts you past the commitment threshold, as you've already put in almost 15% of the effective stacks. Push and enjoy some high variance.

OP has not even invested 10% of his stack, and should fold here readless.

This is really nitty, IMO. We have 15% of the effective stacks in already, and Hero is probably a coinflip:

I fold this readless. Seems at 25NL re-raises clean out most all but AA/KK/AK unless you have a specific read otherwise

Re: 25NL- Preflop with QQ
 

Shove - just because it's likely from his bet sizing and the fact he's short that he isn't solid (+ the fact that he's short full stop). But I don't particularly like doing it. It's probably marginal against an unknown. Folding and making a note while you get a read wouldn't be terrible.

CO is never ever folding to a push here, and even if he is weakish its prob AQ weak. IMO if CO has JJ TT or the like he is pushing the 3 bet not betting half his stack.
